MFIResearch Student
Jul. 2012 - May. 2015Being a student is fun, but it does have its down side. For most students it is the first time that they have left home and is therefore somewhat disconcerting. The realization that there is now no mechanism around to take dirty smelly clothes and magically transform them into clean ones is a horrible one. There is also the feeling that nobody at university particularly cares about you, or how you are doing. This is not true; all our courses come complete with a free mentor. It is important that you get on well with your mentor, laugh at his or her jokes, pay regular visits etc. You get to meet your mentor in the first week of your course, and keep in touch for the rest of your stay in the university. If you have any questions about how life is lived, or university procedure, ask your mentor first. They may not know the answer, but they will certainly know someone who might. Perhaps the most important thing about being a student is that it is a time of your life when you can devote yourself pretty much entirely to something that really interests you. If you enjoy writing sonnets, an English course is a great place to be. And if you enjoy making what Electricity can do, a Diploma in Electrical Engineering makes a great deal of sense. Hence, degree, and post grad education level.
